:siren: PAUL JUST LIED TO PAULIE :siren:

So much for PP being tight. Earlier, Michelle told Paul that Paulie would likely be her target if she won HOH. Paul just lied and told Paulie that he doesn't think Paulie is necessarily Meech's target.

Looks like Paul is hoping to keep Meech around so she's another option to clip Paulie.

Maybe not super siren-worthy (is anything this season?) but the number of people willing to put Paulie up at DE is growing. Meech is working on Vic to put Paulie up at DE, and Bridgette was working Natalie this morning about what a huge threat Paulie is.

Nicole and Corey want Meech out this week, then Paul and Vic out, and trust Paulie.

Paulie wants Bridgette out next, then Nicole out first at DE, and wants to put her up against James.

Also, Paulie is dumb and hasn't figured out from Meech's comments that the two votes Meech has locked have to include James' vote, or else three votes wouldn't be enough to win.

Also, Paulie doesn't believe his misogynistic rear end has a chance at beating a woman in the final, so he wants to clip the last girl at F4.

James seemed to show signs of life yesterday, saying he was considering taking 2 of corey/nicole/paulies votes. Then voting out Z along with paul and nat.

If he did do that I feel like then next logical step is to take a shot at those 3 during DE, but that seems like a pipe dreams with these players.

Yeah, I wasn't watching the last couple of days but it sounded like Michelle was working on Nat (or just that Nat's the only one still being nice to her) and Nat was talking to James about getting Z out with the power and Paul. I don't know if he'd pull that move but I hope he will.

Bridgette's talking to the cameras trying to figure things out. She figures Zaulie and Nicorey are protecting each other and considers working with James and Nat but "James won't do anything drastic and Nat can't win anything" (uhhh... didn't she just beat everyone but Vic in an endurance comp?).

Paul turning on Paulie, even if it's not super blatant, would go a long way towards making me feel better about him getting one of the care packages. Which seems likely based on who is left who can win and who the general audience would probably be invested enough in to vote for.

Well, as Natalie said, this was the comp she could actually win and she didn't. And she is right about James, he would barely lift a finger to protect Natalie, and certainly wouldn't for Bridgette. He's playing the same exact game again and he might just watch any possible ally go out the door again.

Paul knows his shot at winning means getting Paulie out soon and James is the only person in the house who is remotely useful in that.

Paulie's going on a super lovely rant against Michelle around 1:40AM.. says he's going to use his "Scorpio tongue" to instigate and tear Michelle down and go for her jugular and "feed off of every little rope that unravels". Zakiyah, who's listening, is just chuckling, and I'm wondering who she's going to share this nastiness with.

He's rehearsing a speech he hopes to give on live TV, or on feeds, or in Michelle's goodbye video. He hopes it'll crush her so bad that it'll follow her through life, making her miserable. "You're a superfan who never got the full Big Brother experience because you sucked so bad."

Part of the reason why he's angry is because he's just finally realized that Paul's been playing him for a while now.

And one of the best parts of this is that he's ranting to Zakiyah about Michelle throwing him under the bus, while he's been brutally throwing Zakiyah under the bus for the past few weeks.

Paul comes outside to say hi, then leaves, and Paulie mutters after him, "fuckin' DIJE". The bromance is OVER.

At 1:50, Zak asks Paulie if he knew Paul was putting her up, and he glares at her and shouts "don't loving do that. Of course not. (lie)"

Paulie then continues to rail against all the dishonesty in the house and how he plans to expose and punish it.

This guy is the embodiment of arrogant, entitled white twenty-something. He's talking at Zakiyah, not with her, for like an hour straight, preaching righteously. Brutally condemning people for the exact same behavior he's been exhibiting.

At the end of it all:

Zak: "Paulie, Paulie, Paulie. You're really... somethin somethin."

Paulie is a real piece of work.

The good thing is he seems almost determined to burn every jury vote as if it was part of the game plan I'd accept a bitter jury refusing to give him a win as an acceptable ending if no one ever grows the nerve to take a swing at him.

What exactly happened between them?

STAC Goat
Mar 12, 2008

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

There's some real similarities between Cody and Paulie. Cody was pretty self righteous too and would threaten to go off on people all the time. And there's a reason all the HGs hated him when they left the house and the jury vowed to vote for Victoria to win over him. But for the most part Derrick's whole game was about keeping things calm and trying to hide your involvement in the game. Its entirely possible that Cody would have been a lot like Paulie if he didn't have that calming/coaching influence. But without a "Derrick" Paulie is just unrestrained and a complete and total douchebag and bully.

Frank actually called this pretty early on and was trying to set himself up to be Paulie's "Derrick" and talked about how he and Boogie would calm each other down and check each other. But Paulie doesn't want that, he wants to be Derrick so he rejected the idea of Frank "controlling" him.

But then there's also the added aspect of Paulie getting into a showmance with a girl he barely could stand to talk to. That's just stupidity and horniness. Cody was a flirt but it never went beyond that (and I think on some level he and Derrick were eliminating all the Brittanys and Ambers that it could have gotten deeper with). Paulie looks like such a bigger rear end in a top hat for the way he's using Zakiyah and treating her like dirt. Especially when the live feeders know they've hosed a number of times.

Paulie just has no self control, is what it comes down. Whether Cody was more mature or just had an "older brother" to keep him reigned in, we'll probably never know.

Retail Slave posted:

Paulie's just mad that Paul is playing the game. Paul wanted Z gone this week because Paulie told him last week that Z was targeting Paul. Paulie decided Z stays because she's become this pathetic husk who he can abuse and still control so he's pissed off that Paul kept trying to push her as the target.

Its just Paulie being a control freak and being outraged that Paul isn't doing what Paulie tells him to without question.

Michelle just told James about the Showmance Alliance she was a fifth wheel to. Day and Tiffany already told him about that but maybe Michelle confirms it continued? The problem is James seems to think he and Natalie are safer with the showmances than with random people like Bridgette and Michelle.

She also pointed out how Tiffany, Frank, and Day all pointed out these problems and she wishes they were still in the house. Well, there you go, Michelle. Your only mistake was half the evictions of the season.

But at least Michelle seems like she's going to put up a fight.

I think the Nicole/Corey thing is mostly just under the cover movement and sounds speculation but Paulie and Z have gone full on grinding, humping, and nudity. Zakiyah's probably not getting that pre-school teaching job back and I'm not sure Paulie will be coaching youth soccer next summer.

If Paulie comes from a conservative community it makes sense. If Zakiyah's charges are that young, it also makes sense that their parents don't want footage of teach getting down readily available on the internet. Plus, if STAC is to be believed, they're also on camera being gleefully vicious, hateful people. It's like how Alecia the special ed teacher from Survivor got fired for making a slanty-eyes joke about another contestant. See also: Gina-Marie.

Being kind of catty and mean is different from like that Adam guy season 9 calling autistic kids retards (when he worked with special needs kids). Z is no where near as bad as Aryan and Gina Marie were, and certainly shouldn't be unemployable, just unlikeable.

Oh god, please don't let Z be tied to this POS for the rest of her life.

I have no idea when they started having sex. The cast has been in the house for about 60ish days, right? I guess if they were having sex over a month ago she might be starting to have symptoms, but nausea is a common side effect of stress and anxiety. People also eat like crap in the BB House, which could exacerbate stress nausea.

This is basically it. I've known teachers to lose their jobs because of things posted on Facebook or Twitter, because of partying at a local bar, for letting it slip that they were spending nights with someone other than a spouse, etc. It depends on the job and the administrators but in this day of google and social media you're going to have a problem if you're a teacher of young children and a quick search pulls up videos and gifs of you getting it on and naked. The first time the wrong parent or student discover it the school will catch holy hell and most schools (if they're aware) will cut it off at the pass and use it as the unofficial reason to pass on you when you're contract comes up for renewal and just go with one of the other dozens of young women applying for the job.

Z probably doesn't have tenure or a strong union that would fight for her, and if she even has a contract it probably as a morality clause. But the more likely scenario is just that most teaching jobs go year-to-year so a school is free to simply not bring you back if you've given them a reason. And sex tapes is usually a sound reason. Odds are Z's employer knows she's on Big Brother so the odds seem bad.

This is not true. Nat won't even give James a kiss on camera. She's the one who's very self conscious and camera aware, but there's been no real pressuring from either side. They both seem to actually be handling this showmance maturely for the most part. They aren't sure what it is, they don't know if it will survive outside the house and distance, and they don't want to embarrass themselves or their families.

Nicorey at least leave it to under the cover action and the only thing really against them are some vague motions under a comforter. Paulie and Z just have some humping videos out there, though.

I agree to a certain extent, but it's not like Paul and Victor are pushing the Michelle needs to go angle at all. The only real threat afterwards is Paulie and Nicorey, and they were coming after him anyway, which he would realize if he woke up.
